Iran has outlined five conditions for ending the ongoing conflict, in response to a 15-point proposal put forward by the President Donald Trump-led United States government.
The position was reported on Wednesday by Press TV, which cited a senior political-security official said to have knowledge of the proposal.
While it remains unclear whether the official is authorised to speak on behalf of the Iranian government, the report is seen as a signal directed at international audiences.
According to Press TV, a state media outlet, the conditions include a complete halt to “aggression and assassinations,” as well as the establishment of firm guarantees to prevent a return to hostilities.
Other demands include “guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations,” and a requirement that the conflict ends across all fronts, including those involving Iranian allies in the region.
The report also stated that Iran is seeking assurance that it can exercise sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, with recognition of what it described as its legal rights over the waterway.
- A complete halt to “aggression and assassinations.”
- Establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure the war on Iran does not resume.
- Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
- The condition that the war is concluded across all fronts and for all Iranian proxies throughout the region (which would require an end to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon that are targeting Hezbollah).
- Guarantee that Iran can exercise sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and that its legal right to the strait is recognized.
The official further stressed that Tehran would determine the timeline for ending the war. “Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met.”
Earlier, Tribune Online reports that the United States has presented Iran with a 15-point peace framework and a proposed ceasefire aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that Iran has already accepted a key condition of the deal, which is to abandon nuclear weapons ambitions.
“They’ve agreed,” Trump said of his biggest demand. “They will never have a nuclear weapon. They’ve agreed to that.”
The proposal was reportedly delivered to Iranian officials through Pakistan on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.
Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, alongside his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is leading efforts to secure Iran’s agreement to a month-long ceasefire. The truce period is expected to allow both sides to negotiate the full terms of the 15-point framework, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.
